"Thank You" with the Simply Zinnia Stamp Set

I love having some card layouts handy, ones that are simple to switch up and use over and over again. When you use different printed papers or stamps, it makes the card layout look completely different, and you’d never know it’s the same card! This fun fold is one of those card layouts that you can just switch the Designer Series Paper (DSP), and it makes the card look like a fresh, new layout.

The Simply Zinnia suite is one of our brand new Online Exclusive products, and this is the first time I’ve played with it! I absolutely love the paper, which is full of bright, beautiful colors for Spring and Summer. I’m ready for sunny days and all the flowers!

I’ve made other cards using this same layout, and I’ll tag them here so that you can jump over and check them out. PLEASE CLICK HERE to watch the video where I made this card, and you can see exactly how easy and quick this fun fold comes together.

For this card, I started out with a Blackberry Bliss cardstock base, measuring 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″. Next, I cut off 3″ from one side of the cardstock, so that the card front was “shorter” than the back. Don’t throw this 3″ piece away! We will use it for the card front.

Next, I layered a piece of Basic White cardstock onto the small card front, and I used the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder to give it some depth and interest. It adds the perfect touch! The Embossing Folder is so detailed and beautiful, I will definitely be using it a lot. I can already tell! This piece of Basic White cardstock measures 2-3/8″ x 4-1/8″.

I took the 3″ piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock that I had cut off of the card front, and used it to layer up for my main focal piece on the front of the card. I layered a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock onto it, measuring 4-1/8″ x 2-7/8″. Finally, I layered on a piece of the adorable floral print from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack, which is full of so many bright and beautiful prints! This piece measures 4″ x 2-3/4″.

Before adhering this onto the card base, I wrapped a piece of ribbon around it, and tied it in a bow. This is the Lemon Lime Twist striped ribbon from the Ribbon Due Combo Pack, and it coordinated with this card perfectly. Then, I adhered this entire piece onto the little card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the sentiment, I used the Simply Zinnias stamp set, which has several great sentiments in it. I stamped it with the matching Blackberry Bliss ink onto Basic White cardstock, and then cut out the edges at a slant. I layered this onto the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I added a few of the beautifully sparkly Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, just to give a little glitz! I love how the entire card turned out, and I’m excited to keep using this new Simply Zinnias suite of products!
